Spaghetti Sauce to Remember

You can thank the Phoenix Firefighters for this one! It starts to tickle you taste buds as soon as it starts to simmer. By the time you get your first mouthful you can't eat it fast enough. It is has some bold flavors with pepperoni, Italian sweet sausage, and of course garlic. Some might even say you have to call the fire department to put out the crazy tastiness going on in your mouth. Yummy!

Directions:Pour 1/2 cup olive oil in large pot. Saute pepperoni for 1 minute, add onion, saute for 1 minute, add garlic and saute for two minutes. Meanwhile brown Italian separately and then add to pot. Add all remaining ingredients including salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 3-4 hours and try to refrain for sipping it gone before plating.Cook spaghetti as directed, serve and enjoy!

I love these aromatic sauces too. I wish my house always smelled like this type of sauce or bacon. And that I had a switch that would change it back and forth. And that I had a million dollars. And a lifetime supply of Diet Coke.

Pam- It is a piece of wheat french bread with olive oil spread on it and topped with mozzarella, parmesan, sweet basil, and garlic powder. We added sliced tomatoes just for fun and it was an excellent mate for the pasta. Thanks for asking.

Louise- I said the same thing when Josh poured it in. I tried to drain it off when he wasn't looking but he caught me and said that if they made it that way at the station then that is how we should make it. I really so no need for it and totally agree with you.

Yum, this looks soooo appetizing! We grew a ton of our own tomatoes last year and froze, canned, roasted, and dried them. So I have definitely been in spaghetti mode this winter! This version with the pepperoni and sausage looks terrific :)
